I remember Leicester signing Greg Sczepanik, he was awful, and Ila Teromaas brother Pepe, he was awful as well, Ila was quality.. Then we had a load of mediocre ones as well, Boley Proch was one.. Ernst Bogh another..

Well, my DVD player hasn't worked due to a poor effort on my part (getting my HDMI, SCART, cable colours wrong!! So, watched the following last night.... Leicester v Wolverhampton (Gulf British) League 1979 I think.. Then, Sheffield v Leicester (League Cup) 1983 Then, Leicester V Hull, (League Cup) 198! Then Kings Lynn v Leicester, (British League) 198! Dave Jessup had 2 EF'S whilst in heat winning positions! The crowd at the Lions v Wolves was about 3,500 I think, Dave Lanning said it was a tad sparse! Don't think the racing was as good as I remember, think the crowd size, and interaction with riders was 100% better..... Then, topped the evening off watching "Bill Fox" smoking all and sundry in "ONCE A JOLLY SWAGMAN"!!!

What's happened to the original poster, and his question? We've been hoodwinked!!!!!

Don't know, ask Shakespeares Sister..

I think I watched a charity football match in the 70's at Leicesters Blackbird Rd Track, think there were a few Radio One DJ's, and other celebs playing, can't remember the year, but I'm sure it happened and was not a dream!!!

Gotta be a donner!!! Full of vitamins!!!

Seat bracket I believe, very uncomfortable, even though you're out of it alot, it's a fulcrum point for body parts, mostly, but not exclusively the right leg!!!

It's stopped, (14.20) clear rest of day/evening)

The rain will stop at around 14.30, then its clear until the early hours of Sunday..

A few years ago at the Cardiff GP, you could purchase earpieces like you get at test match cricket, which is a commentary feed. I actually quite enjoyed it, the only downside for me is, I don't like earpieces!! Not sure if it was a regular thing, as I have been a flag Marshall at the last 6 or 7 Cardiff GP's.

Sun sets at 12 minutes past 8.

Why don't do some posters not add date and start times to meeting preview/discussion threads?

Did this take place? Can't find anything on updates, it's as if this meeting doesn't exist!! (Thursday 18th April 2019)

Weather forecast is as good as it gets for late April.. Beaumont Park will be bathed in Sunshine, with temps topping out at a respectable 24c, maybe even 26c!! No rain, or any wind to speak of. Come tapes up, the temperature will have dropped back to a pleasant 16c to 17c.. Perfect Speedway weather..!!

I think he may be looking through Rose tinted glasses, I remember in the past, some races never got the 2 minute klaxon, riders came straight out, little or no digging, lined up and that was that.. The 2 minute klaxon only seemed to sound if riders were in trouble with bikes etc...

The whole sport has been sanitised.

Meeting is rained off (09.20) tipping it down since 05.00, not gonna stop till after 1pm...

Ade Hoole!! That was at Leicester, wasn't it!!!

Funny that, I checked the rain radar and it looked like they'd had a good soaking, but I thought they'd probably still get it on....!!

What happened to the 2nd leg on FS? Doesn't appear to have been shown..?

It's Connor Mountain... Did really well this evening, think he got 9 paid 13..!! Good prospect..

The convective rain threat has now just about passed through Leicester, cold front next, nowt really wet on that now either.... Should be fine for racing and the fireworks!!

Think Google maps is a track version or 2 out still.....

Any news on the injured riders...?
